Copper soars on belief of Asian revival
Copper jumped to a six-week high on Wednesday, trimming the first monthly fall since July, amid reports suggesting a rebound in Asian economies fueled prospects for demand. Three-months copper surged 1.3% to $7,817 per metric ton in London, while the one for December delivery climbed 1.2% to $3.547 per pound in New York. Zinc, aluminum and nickel rose in London.
